His legal team argues that since the alleged offenses were committed during his tenure as governor, it is appropriate for the case to be heard within the state.

Today, Bello is set to be arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on alleged fraud charges amounting to N82 billion. The EFCC will be prosecuting the case on behalf of the federal government.

Bello’s arraignment is listed as number seven on Justice Emeka Nwite’s cause list. However, there is still uncertainty about whether Bello will appear in court as promised.

It will be noted that Bello has gone hidden for over four weeks now.
